Online Poker Report – A critical report released today on the future of Pennsylvania’s gambling industry should give proponents of regulated online gambling cause for optimism.
The report – entitled “The Current Condition and Future Viability of Casino Gaming in Pennsylvania” – was presented this morning to Pennsylvania Legislative Budget and Finance Committee.
Pennsylvania lawmakers mandated the creation of the report, produced by Econsult Solutions, back in December 2013. So what exactly about the report augurs well for regulated online poker and casino coming to the Keystone State?
After surveying industry experts, casino owners, existing research and comparable markets to gauge the impact of online gambling regulation on current casino revenue, the Econsult report concluded that “[t]he balance of the evidence suggests that the impact would be on the positive side.”
